So i had my facelift lights for a while and decided to fit them. While i had bumper off i might as well remove Egr and airpump and all the junk that goes along with it.
I am by no means a painter just enjoy learning and trying new things. I think it vastly improves the look of the front end.The facelift lights are just much sharper cleaner looking. I done a few thing back to front mesh and lip trim should of went on last but i used Vaseline on the trim so paint wont stick and just masked mesh

So it begins

Egr and airpump removed.


test fitting lights


fiberglassed number plate holes


Fiberglassed Headlight washer holes


meshed Fitted and secured


Lip rubber trim


First fill of the washer and number plate holes


last fill awaiting sanding


first coat dried indoors curing outside


finished bumper lights fitted,wired and looking good


May spray mesh black later on will wait and let you guys decide


Hope you like it, took many hours and late nights but am happy with the result.

 

That looks good!

I'd paint the mesh black, would give it an even cleaner look I think

 

Looks like a clean job. I would've taken off the badge before painting, though.

 

Excellent work...good job sir.

Really like that. Great work!

 

Cheers guys Badge had been glued on before i had the car

I'm thinking the same,Black would maybe look cleaner i might just spray it the tomorrow can always spray it back if it looks mince.

 

I don't get fitting the facelift lights and bumper - just makes it look like a bad/cheap accident repair IMHO. Must make it harder to sell?

 

Most modifications will make it harder to sell but modifying cars and worrying about resale value have never gone together well

 

I dont buy a car and then worry about the resale value of it. It's the standard Pre-facelift bumper just the lights iv changed and there £600 lights from the new facelift model if anything it improves the resale value in my opinion, Don't see where the cheap repair comes from, If it where a repair, i would of fitted preface lift lights which are pennies in comparison. but its your opinion i have to take the good with the bad

 

Looks great with the facelift lights (I am biased), leave the mesh as it is, if you paint it you will be forever touching up stone chips.

This one is really going to fox the MOT testers, different lights and no washers.
